Hemifacial spasm is a kind of painless, intermittent, involuntary, and irregular unilateral facial muscles convulsion. Microvascular decompression has become the standard surgical procedure for hemifacial spasm after years of popularization and development. In the article, the authors described in

To explore the risk factors of delayed facial paralysis (DFP) after microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) METHODS: :A retrospective study was conducted on 636 patients who had undergone MVD for HFS by the same neurosurgery department of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from
This is a report of a hemifacial spasm associated with a cerebellar hematoma. A 60 year-old female was admitted to our hospital due to severe vertigo and nausea. On admission, the neurological examination showed drowsy conscious level, cerebellar sign dominant on the left side, and left hemifacial
Although the mechanism of hemifacial spasm (HFS) is not yet well established, vascular compression of the facial nerve root exit zone and hyperexcitability of the facial nucleus have been suggested. We report a case of HFS in the setting of coinciding intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) of the pons and
A 66-year-old male presented with clinical features of hemifacial spasm. Cerebral angiograms disclosed an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the cerebellopontine angle. The hemifacial spasm was caused by a dilated feeding artery of the AVM compressing the facial nerve at the root exit zone. Surgery
CONCLUSIONS
We report a rare case of a ruptured de novo dissecting aneurysm induced by ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate. A 39-year-old woman underwent microvascular decompression for left hemifacial spasm. The offending vessel was left posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). Left vertebral artery (VA) was
Dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is very rare, acquired lesion that may present with intracranial hemorrhage or neurological deficits. The etiology is not completely understood but dural AVF often has been associated with thrombosis of the involved dural sinuses. To our knowledge, this is the first
We describe a patient presented with sequential events of hemifacial spasm, cerebral infarction and fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage. All of them are seemingly separate entities. Radiological examination revealed that the cause was vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) coexisting with a giant saccular
OBJECTIVE
To investigate nitric oxide (NO) metabolism after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
METHODS
We measured the concentrations of the NO metabolites, nitrite and nitrate, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from the cisternal drainage of patients with SAH. Studies were performed for 31 patients
Bilateral hemifacial spasm (biHFS) is an infrequent cranial nerve disorder that causes patients to suffer from severe psychological stress, and there are no reported cases of synchronous biHFS. In this study, a 46-year-old right-handed woman was diagnosed with a synchronous biHFS. After one
OBJECTIVE
Discussing the use of endoscopy in the operation of microvascular decompression of cranial nerves to treat trigeminal neuralgia (TN), hemifacial spasm (HFS), glosspharyngeal neuralgia (GN) and some tumors of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA).
METHODS
Since 2006, 973 cases (including 420
Serious complications of microvascular decompression operations for trigeminal neuralgia or hemifacial spasm are reported. Among 278 patients who underwent microvascular decompression, 9 serious complications were observed: 1 intracerebellar hematoma with acute hydrocephalus, 1 cerebellar swelling
The authors critically analyzed a large series of patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS) and who underwent microvascular decompression (MVD) under a prospective protocol. We describe several "lessons learned" that are required for achieving successful surgery and proper postoperative management. The
Microvascular decompression (MVD) is an effective and safe treatment option that offers the prospect of definitive cure for hemifacial spasm (HFS). However, there are potential risks of complications for MVD associated with retromastoid suboccipital craniectomy (RmSOC) and cranial nerves in
